Lynch syndrome-associated small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the prostate is an extremely rare extracolonic tumor associated with Lynch syndrome. This article reports the case of a 54-year-old male with Lynch syndrome who developed a prostate tumor pathologically confirmed as small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the prostate, accompanied by a loss of MSH2 and PMS2 protein expression.
